Stout Gloves was created to offer quality industrial gloves to the North American market. We specialize in impact and cut resistant gloves. Stout Gloves' purpose is to revolutionize the glove industry, specialize in 'Just In Time' service and offer unmatched support and knowledge to the customer in all facets of the supply chain.

Stout by definition is (of an act, quality, or person) brave and determined. As such, Shelby Hrechuk started his company in 2012, selling gloves from the back of his car, eventually launching Stout Gloves in 2016. Hence, the name Stout reflects the ethos of the hard-working people of the industrial industries and glove wearers everywhere.

Today, we are a family based business, with Hrechuk's sister, brother and brother-in-law all sharing responsibilities. Hrechuk wanted something he could put his family's name on while driving new jobs and opportunities for people, all while promoting an enduring message of perseverance. With an extreme increase in glove technology and safety over the past decade, we create gloves that will keep the user safe while providing durability, comfortability, and dexterity to get difficult tasks done.
